On the Inside
Kiley Duke Nov 2014
When you look at someone,
instead of seeing bodies,
try to see their souls.

And then tell me
if they are beautiful.

Do their lights and colors,
on the inside,
outshine the distractions
on the outside?

Lost
Kiley Duke Nov 2014
L** ost out in the real world
up, down, left, right?
its all backwards
which way to go?

O ne way.
The other less traveled
or the well beaten path?
how to choose?

S igns? supposed to
follow the signs?
if i don't care,
how will i see them?

T ear down the walls,
break away.
become something else
ENTIRELY

every body has these little synapses in their tiny little minds
that shoot off commands to your nerves
or
release chemicals into your brain

that make you do or feel the
STUPIDEST ****
and there is no way
to.
turn.
it.
OFF.

unless of course,

you want to die.

Returned
Kiley Duke Nov 2014
My heart does not glow, float
try to beat out of my chest

My love for the world and
the miraculous
has not been returned

Life Counselors
Kiley Duke Oct 2014
Do they exist?
I need someone to tell me how.
How?
How do I start on the path that will...
Will what?
I JUST WANT TO BE HAPPY
How do I guarantee
happiness?
Life Counselor? Do you hear me?
IM LOST IN THE VOID
I can't do it all on my own
(But I sure as hell wish I could)
